Why do foreigners often see the beauty of our country and we don't? Is that longing something like if you have curly hair you'd wish to have straight hair? Oh well, most of us Pinoys wuld boast to have seen Hong Kong, the US, Singapore but would you boast of seeing this?
Now's your chance!
Why was the Philippines chosen?
1. "Now more than ever, travelers want their dollars to do more—for others, for the planet, for themselves." 2. “...harboring as many islands as the Caribbean and some of the most spectacular reefs on the planet.”
3. Last month, National Geographic-Traveler magazine named the Ifugao Rice Terraces as one of the “50 Places of a Lifetime: Greatest Destinations in the World.”
What's there to see?
Summit to SeaThe Philippines has a PR problem. While it harbors as many islands as the Caribbean and some of the most spectacular reefs on the planet, the nation sees only a fraction of the visitors of nearby Thailand. Even travel companies, it seems, have bought the bad rap: Other than the occasional sea kayaking trip, U.S. guides have largely avoided the archipelago. But Wilderness Travel has finally gotten wise. This May the outfit will lead clients high into the 4,000-foot Cordillera Central, then deep into the world’s most biodiverse marine environment. The trip begins in Banaue, where travelers spend days hiking into terraced mountains and nights back at the town’s namesake hotel (pine cabins, private balconies, killer views). Then it’s down to the island of Cabilao, trading butterflies for fish� species of them. For the next five days, you’ll bob around reefs, scanning the area’s 350 varieties of coral (including table coral that’s a whopping nine feet wide). But don’t forget: The best snorkeling starts at dusk. “It’s like being in a train station during commuting hours,” says Barbara Banks, Wilderness Travel’s director of new trip development. “The day fish are moving out and the night creatures like octopuses and eels are moving in.”

Mga kababayan, di naman kailangan gumastos pa tayo ng ganito kalaki para makita ang kagandahan ng ating bayan. Puntahan natin ito sa sarili nating sikap, at our own pace, at our own time.
Ang importante ay maipagmalaki natin ang ganda ng Pilipinas saan man tayo naroroon dahil kung ang iba ipinagmamalaki ito, tayo pa kaya?
